Nice little pub not far from the town centre, had some cheesy chips and was surprised how nicely cooked they were, definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a pub to put your feet up in for a bit during a day out.

★★★★★

Staff were friendly and helpful. Menu was small and simple. The food that came out was tasty and not too much of the plate. My daughter enjoyed herself so much. Lovely friendly cosy atmosphere. Could not fault at all.

🥖 **THE SOURDOUGH IS BACK (FROM 3PM THURSDAY)!** 🌾💥It has been an absolute battle against the elements, but we are thrilled to say that as long we dont have extreme heat its back.To say the recent heat wave threw us a curveball is an understatement. When kitchen temperatures hit a staggering **50°C+**, things got wild. Our refrigeration units simply couldn't keep up, and our sourdough starter went completely rogue in the extreme heat! 🌋🫠Sourdough is a living, breathing thing, and it turns out it doesn't like a tropical microclimate any more than we do.But after a lot of patience, some serious temperature hacking, and getting our cooling systems back under control, the starter is perfectly balanced and the dough is rising beautifully. 📅 THE FRESH LOAF DROP:Set your reminders! Freshly baked loaves will be ready to grab from **3:00 PM this Thursday**. We are bringing back your absolute favorites:🍞 **The Gold Hill Whoppa White** – Our legendary, crispy-crusted classic. 🌾 **Spelt & Poppy** – Deep, nutty flavor with that perfect poppy seed crunch.Also featuring on our main menu:* 🍕 The ultimate base for our famous fresh pizzas!* 🥖 Stuffed with oozing slow-cooked meat in our brand-new **Pulled Pork Flatbread pockets**! on Sunday.Thank you all for your patience while we battled the summer heat. Come down this Thursday from 3 PM, grab a proper loaf, and celebrate the return of the real deal! 🍕🔥#YeOldeTwoBrewers #Shaftesbury #GoldHillWhoppa #SourdoughIsBack #RealBread #Handmade #SpeltAndPoppy #KitchenChronicles #SupportLocalPubs … See MoreSee Less
